OFFICIAL
Hi All,
I am writing to let you know that Mount Buffalo National Park is now fully reopen to the public following it closure from the Porepunkah incident.
VicPol has made the announcement today that their operations will be changing as per the following article, https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-24/dezi-freeman-search-mount-buffalo-national-park/105929524
As such VicPol were supportive of Parks Victoria reopening all areas of the park, which we have now done, which is fantastic.
Please encourage people to be aware of onsite signage as we will have works happening in various location as our preparations for the summer continue.
Thanks, and enjoy
Julien Atherstone
